🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Luka Doncic agrees to 3-year/$165 million max extension with Lakers | SportsCenter

We have breaking news into Sports Center. Senior NBA insider Sham Shirania joining us now. Shams, what can you tell us? Jay, Luca Dantes, the AllNBA star for the Lakers, has signed a three-year 165 million max contract extension. He was set to be a free agent next offseason, but he commits to a three-year extension now. And this is six months to the day that he was traded in February to the Lakers and arguably the most stunning sports deal ever. And this is a massive change for Luca Dante being in Los Angeles. It’s been an emotional last 6 months. But he commits now to the Lakers through the next three years. And Jeannie Bus, Rob Pelinka, the new owner Mark Walter there. They’ve built a close rapport with Luca Donuch and his inner circle to get him to commit here. And now Luca Donuch, he’s going to be the face of this Lakers organization moving forward. When they acquired him in that trade, they wanted him to be the face for the next decade. And already this offseason, I’m told he’s recruited Marcus Smart, DeAndre Aton to the Lakers. And most importantly, Jay, about the money as well. I in that trade, he lost out on a supermax contract uh with the Mavericks this off season, but in 2028, he’s going to have a player option in that deal. he can opt out of the deal and sign a projected 5-year $417 million contract that would then allow him to recoup all the money that he lost in that super max uh that he missed out on this offseason. So Luca Dantage is committed to the Lakers three years $165 million today. Committed to the Lakers for three years and with an opportunity to recoup all the money lost um after the trade from Dallas to Los Angeles. Uh it looks like a good day to be Luca Dajic. Uh Sham Shirania breaking the news here on Sports Center about Luca’s new contract. Thank you my friend. Appreciate you. Thank you. All right, Luca Donuch off to an historic start to his career, averaging the sixth most points per game through a player’s first seven seasons in NBA history. The only players who have averaged more points than Luca through their first seven seasons. Look at the list. Look at the names. They are all Hall of Famer.

Shams Charania joins SportsCenter to detail Luka Doncic agreeing to a 3-year/$165 millon max extension with the Los Angeles Lakers.

    What does LeBron think of Luka's contract? How does he feel about Luka being the face of Los Angeles? Will he demand to be moved? Next up on ESPN

    LBJ worked very hard to get the Laker Management to bring in players who could aid in bringing LA another championship. Congrats Luka. I sure hope you can push them along with LeBron, because they must be pushed. Be prepared to walk away one day, because I doubt they'll give it everything.

    He knows the Lakers are his Team now and LBJ can go ahead and retire cause there's a new Captain on the SHIP 🚢😂😂😂

    A normal Luka is a 10th fold player than that little SGA…
    The only argument next season will be who is the best player in the world.
    By the way Giannis is 3rd…

    Sga max 4rth

    Still doesnt seem right hes not in Dallas. I know getting Cooper softens the blow, but Flagg will never be half the player Luka is.

  41. @AverageJow

    I always figured this would happen but there was always that “what if he doesn’t commit”

    Now we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief. I didn’t want to jinx this so I didn’t even buy his jersey yet
